Hi Sibyl: Welcome to the no S forum!!!! I am embarrassed to say that I have never been to Canada. I am hopefully going to Vancuver on a motorhome trip at the end of this summer so I look forward to seeing your beautiful country. (I know it is at the opposite end from Ontario, but hey, I live in CA)....

Hi Margaret. I don't think that you've failed. If you said that you've been either "on" or "off" a diet for many years then the fact that you ate normally for a few days is a blessing. I am struggling with the fact that I've been doing this for 16 days and I haven't lost 10 pounds. I've been so "goo...
